Friday Favorites //

Happy Friday, my favorite people! I’m happy to say that not only will we be celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend, but we’ll also be celebrating my husband’s birthday! But in the meantime, here are some of my most favorite things as of late:

My kids. They are my favorite human beings ever. They’re amazing and adorable and such a pain in the booty, all at the same time! But they are my everything.

The Akron Art Museum. I know… I talk about the art museum a lot! But it’s just such an amazing place — and Ari just loves it so much! He started crying in the car yesterday when I was struggling to find parking (thanks to an event nearby). He thought we wouldn’t get to go and he was so upset! Lucky for him, I found a spot and he and I had a fabulous time!

The Book of the Month Club! I am SO excited to be getting a FREE book from the author of Girl On The Train from BOTM this month!! Gahhhh!! My passion for reading is back and I cannot be stopped! LOL! But seriously, if you sign up now you can still get the book, too! (PS. Makes a fabulous Mother’s Day gift! Trust me. I’m a mom.).

The Leftovers on HBO. Guys. If you have not seen this show? You must. MUST. Like, now. It’s quite possibly the best show on television ever. And it’s in it’s final season! I’ve seriously cried during every single episode. Yep. Every. single. one.

The Greatest Escapist. Real talk: Kate has always been one of my favorite bloggers. Long before I knew she was an Ohio native — when she was living in DC — I read her blog. It turns out I live in her hometown — and she moved back home! Well she recently included me in her roundup of her favorite Cleveland bloggers! Thanks, Kate!

This Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe! I’ve always been more of a fan of cookie dough than cookies themselves, and this recipe does not disappoint, ya’ll!

This post from The Candid Millennial on 25 things you should do by 25. Sure, 25 is long gone for me. But this list is great, nonetheless! 25, 21, 47…. GO FOR IT!

I’m dying to try this Chipotle Butternut Squash Chili. I freaking love chili, guys. Like, love it hardcore. And I’m pretty traditional when it comes to chili, but I really want to try something new.

 

Happy Friday, friends! What’s something you’re loving lately!?!

    That book is getting a lot of hype right now, hope you enjoy it!

    I’m loving the Ninja blender my husband got me for my birthday! I’m talking super creamy smoothies everyday and I don’t see myself getting tired of them anytime soon.
